8bitdo and flydigi controllers support (lemmy.world)

Hi all. I am getting sick of the stick drift on the Xbox and PlayStation controllers, so I've started looking into 3rd party controllers with hall effect. Two kept popping up, flydigi and 8bitdo. If anyone owns one of these, how's their support on Linux? Do they work out of the box? Just plug in the dongle and you're good to go? Are they stable? I don't ever use any other buttons than the main ones, so I think won't need their software. Unless even the main ones needs programming! Do they? Thanks in advance

Man, this is so freaking refreshing to hear. I don't know why I haven't bought one of these a long time ago. Buying all the MS and Sony garbage that is made to break. I only ever play wired. Rarely do I use/need the Bluetooth. Do these support the gyro requirements on rpcs3? I was playing uncharted the other day and it was telling me to move the controller on some parts of the game, and the Xbox (more of a shitbox controller) doesn't work on it
